Rules to Choose between MBR and GPT

By -

Wakin' up from hibernation...


The previous blog post explained basic information about MBR and GPT, and this part devotes to how to choose partitioning scheme.


BIOS + MBR

If motherboard in your computer is BIOS or UEFI with BIOS mode, MBR partition plan is the correct choice.

UEFI + GPT

Oppositely, if your computer is using UEFI motherboard and enables UEFI mode, then please employ GPT partition scheme.

You might be confused by the conclusion above, as there are many guides online teaching users to install operating system on BIOS+ GPT or UEFI +MBR. My advice is that if you are not technical geek or professional user, you'd better choose BIOS + MBR or UEFI +GPT, as you can benefit:

1. Better performance in hardware and software, faster speed.

2. Avoid many potential issues that may occur to installation or running Windows. Professional users can easily fix these problems, but common users can't get rid of any system errors easily.

Some users may ask whether it is OK to use Legacy BIOS if the motherboard is UEFI. The advice is that for the consideration of performance and speed do not use Legacy BIOS unless hard drive's capacity is very small. EFI+GPT takes more disk space (100MB or so) than BIOS+MBR, if 100MB matters much on your hard drive, you can choose Legacy BIOS.


Signing off...

 Hi Peeps!!!  This is BOOPATHY ... As we all know maintaining a family is a complicated thing. Similarly, getting double degree in LAW SCHOOL is as well a vexatious thing. A common man can't bear the struggles in both the fields. People have to be more cautious in those areas. They have to be at the peak of patience. Imagine a man born with anger and grown with fury was pushed into both the fields simultaneously.  Post man : Maa' post. From Government law college, Phanipuri. To Salmond Satty. Salmond's Dad: He is fit for nothing. Why are they wasting a paper and tonner for this letter? And the post charges too.   Salmond's dad gave the letter to Salmond's wife and she placed that on the table. Salmond Arrives..... Salmond : Who left the door half opened? Can't u switch off the lights when unused? (On seeing the letter) who kept the letter here? What will happen if water spill on it? Are you out of mind? Do you want me to fall on your feet to open t...

Tender Love Proposal

"Representative, collect ₹20 from each one in the class", said the Math teacher for the copies of study materials she made for the class, earlier.  And this guy was the representative, a cool and knowledgeable, straightforward and calm, not rough though stiff, a kind of a boy who is liked by everyone in the class, irrespective of gender, designation, good in studies or bad in studies.  He tends to follow rules closely which alienated him from others in the class. It's pretty good that one chooses Electronics and Communication Engineering(ECE) stream in which the girls' strength exceeds that of the boys. But when it comes to collecting money or notes from the whole class, it sucks. How can he go to each girl in the class and collect money, it might have felt no less than begging.  "Hey, dude, to whom in girls side shall we handover the responsibility of collecting money?", asked him to his neighbour and friend Thabeth Godson, as ther...
